In the world of jewelry, almost everyone is familiar with silver, gold, and stainless steel.
But there's a material that has been used for years and often goes unnoticed: brass.
It's an alloy of copper and zinc that stands out for its durability and that warm tone reminiscent of aged gold.
It has been widely used to make musical instruments, locks and keys, and of course, jewelry.
DOES BRASS TARNISH?
Yes, and it's completely normal.
Just like silver, brass changes over time when it comes into contact with air and humidity. It can also stain the skin, but don't worry, this is completely normal depending on each person's pH and the time of year.
For us, it's not a defect; on the contrary. We specifically seek that patina that adds personality and a more authentic look.
It's much more durable than people imagine; it's solid, designed to last for many years. Like any jewel, it appreciates good care, but it's not a delicate material, so you can clean it in many ways, just like silver.
It's a living, warm, and constantly evolving material.
It fits perfectly with our philosophy that not everything has to remain shiny to continue being beautiful.
We believe that each piece finds the material that best suits its story.
BRASS AND SALTPETER
This material is the essence of Salitre, our women's collection.
The sea, humidity, and salt leave their mark on it, creating that greenish patina that we instantly recognize today.
Far from hiding it, we find beauty in it.
It's proof that this object has lived.
We are drawn to metals that evolve, surfaces worn by water and wind, pieces that seem salvaged from an old ship or found at the bottom of the sea after decades.
